I hope everyone has had a relaxing summer or eventful summer dependent on what you all were seeking! Now that the school is back in swing and summer is coming to a close we are starting to line up events for the SPE KC chapter’s second half of the year. We will be doing the third Thursday of each month starting Oct, excluding Dec. For Dec. we may throw a Christmas event but this is still undecided. As mentioned previously, we have started the ground work to establishing a new website format. Several options are being looked at to achieve the functionality we are looking to bring. This is still in the works and hope to have everything resolved by the close of the calendar year. Keep a look out for updates on events and news on our Facebook page SPE-KC. We are currently looking to update our member’s roster contact info. If you believe your contact info is out of date please contact Jon Gilligan [email protected].
